now if your talking Metropolitian areas...
Yeah, I was actually referring to metroplexes. Metro Houston and Dallas are both way bigger than that in San Antonio. Without a doubt, Spurs is the only show in town there, and that's why there are so many billboards promoting the team (at least when I travel there, that's what I see).

Another huge discrepancy I noticed during the playoff last year: tickets cost WAY MORE in Dallas than in San Antonio because of supply-and-demand. Around $300 dollars would get you upper level seats, and anything in the lower-level would run $900+/ticket in Dallas. On the other hand, Game 7 lower-level seats in San Antonio runs around $500+/ticket.

Yes, I was tempted to drive to San Antonio for Game 7....

On the other hand, Dallas Cowboys is a way bigger cash cow in Dallas than the Mavs...
